WTH is going on? My question, posted under the CANON lens, is getting replies for CANON AND NIKON!

Amazon mixes reviews because it is considered the same item, even if it has a different camera mount. It's stupid in my opinion because I have noticed on some lenses that all the low reviews will be for one manufacturer and all the high reviews will be for a different manufacturer. This tells me that the bad reviews are due to a compatibility issue with that particular manufacturer and if that's not the camera I own it's safe to ignore them. And for the record, I am answering this on a Nikon lens page "Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 Pro DX II Lens - Nikon Mount"

Because Amazon doesn't separate reviews for different sizes/colors of the "same" product. I buy a lot of camera equipment on here and when I'm shopping for accessories the Nikon/Canon reviews are always mixed even though the manufacturer makes different versions for Nikon/Canon.

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

HiI would not waste my time >>> I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

I see you're getting various answers. I also did what you are trying to do. The best advice I can give you is to contact Canon & ask them. That's what I did & they got me on the right track. Lots of luck.

Nikon tells me the P80 is NOT really "threaded" with a working thread, just kind of cosmetically cut to look that way-----after looking at the P80 "Threads" under a big magnifying glass, my God, I believe they are correct---It is not a thread---very disappointing to me---somehow I feel better when a lens is protected with a filter

Description also says its for a Canon so... Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Maybe their descriptions are combinations of different products.

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

I recommend you report that to Canon Customer Service and see what they say. If, as I expect, they will indicate something not right, I'd send it back to Amazon in exchange for another since still in Amazon's 30-period for returns rather than sending it to Canon for repair. I have always gotten a very quick from Canon Customer Service and am very satisfied with the service I have gotten from them.

mine has worked great for quite some time, the other commenters may be the case for. There are certain digital only nikon lens that won't fit this, such as CX lenses and others too I believe, so that may be the case...

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

Hi, Douglas! I saw what you discussed about the lances and the whole camera and I want to ask you if you have any experiance with Nikon Coolpix 5700 (I have that one) and how is it against Canon DigitalRebel XT? Is it much more I'll "earn" if I switch to Canon? Thank you in advance!Ivan Hristov, Houston, TX

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?
